7 New Beauty Products To Try This Season

A few days ago, we talked about the 5 basic makeup products every girl should have in her kit at all times. On tap today is a quick overview of some of the newest products out there – and why they’re worth investing in.

Makeup is a bit like technology in the sense that it feels like the second you buy one thing, the next generation is released in stores. It can be frustrating for sure, and while you don’t need to always have the hot new item, as cosmetology-related science gets better, it helps to have the most effective products (and to get the most bang for your buck.)

Here’s a quick guide of some of the newest products on the market:

1. oval 8 smoke Brush by artis elite

We’re big believers in the idea that every adult woman should have some high-end makeup brushes. The same way that painters create better art with better quality brushes, you too will create better makeup looks with a brush like this one. Artis uses a special kind of cosmetic fibre in their brushes that’s specifically designed for makeup application. These brushes are best used for contouring or blending foundation or bronzer to large areas.

2. Glow Kit By Anastasia Beverly Hills

The glow kit is kind of like a hybrid between a contour kit and a bronzer. The different shades can be used on your face, cheeks, brow bone, or eyelids. To intensify the glow effect, use a damp brush instead of a dry one to apply.

3. Blotterazzi by Beauty Blender

Unlike traditional blotting papers, the Blotterazzi’s shape is designed to fit around all curves of your face. It’s made from the same material as the traditional Beauty Blender, and is supposed to absorb oil without ruining or disturbing your makeup.

4. Unwash Dry Cleanser

Dry shampoos are all the rage lately, but there’s often a lot of side effects that come with using dry shampoo too liberally. Gross buildup is the most common – think about it. You’re essentially spraying product into your hair, maybe multiple times a day, and not washing it out. Duh. This is where the Unwash Dry Cleanser comes in – supposedly, it’s a revolutionary type of product because it acts as a dry shampoo but also cleanses your hair – with zero buildup. This could be the savior we’ve been waiting for!

5. Clinique Pep Start Eye Cream

Listen ladies, as much as we don’t want to think about these types of products, it’s time to start thinking about them. As we move over the hump into our late twenties / early thirties, it’s time to start worrying about stuff like eye and night cream. This lightweight eye moisturizer is designed to get rid of puffiness and other signs of tiredness or stress. Plus, it comes in that cute orange tube that reminds us of Clinique Happy!

6. Vivid Matte Liquid Lipstick by Maybelline

Undoubtedly inspired by Kylie’s Lip Kit, this liquid lipstick has a light matte finish. It boasts a non-drying formula that won’t leave your lips cracked and craving moisture. Bonus – it comes in lots of different shades and can be bought at an affordable price at your local CVS or Target!

7. Ibuki Quick Fix Mist By Shiseido

Say it with me three times fast: “quick fix mist!” (Betcha can’t do it.) This product seems like a miracle in a jar! It helps correct shine and dehydration without destroying your makeup in the process. It’s the perfect thing for when you need a quick pick-me-up or refresher during the day. Basically, it’s an afternoon chai latte for your skin.
